French Wars of Religion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1745 words)
This provoked a further outburst of hostilities which ended in another unsatisfactory truce, the Peace of Longjumeau (March 1568).
Despite this shaky truce, massacres of Huguenots at the hands of enraged Catholic mobs continued in 1571, in cities such as Rouen, Orange and Paris.
The Spanish withdrew from France under the terms of the Peace of Vervins.
CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Huguenots (9674 words)
Peace was established by the Edict of Amboise (19 March, 1563), which left the Huguenots freedom of worship in one town out of each bailiwick (bailliage) and in the castles of lords who exercised the power of life and death (haute justice).
Peace was made in the following year, and the Edict of Saint-Germain (8 April, 1570) granted the Huguenots freedom of worship wherever their worship had been carried on before the war, besides leaving in their hands the four following refuges — La Rochelle, Montauban, La Charite, and Cognac.
The Peace of Bergerac, confirmed by the Edict of Poitiers (September, 1577), left the Huguenots the free exercise of their religion only in the suburbs of one town in each bailiwick (bailliage), and in those places where it had been practised before the outbreak of hostilities and which they occupied at the current date.
